Good role models are hard to find. In most places where we look, we see celebrities glorifying “sexual liberation” (a promiscuous hook-up culture), expressing “nice” opinions about shifting cultural winds (virtue-signaling political correctness), and admonishing everyone to just “do you” (be narcissistic).
